We already know that Qualcomm is planning to launch their Mirasol-equipped e-book reader sometime this year and now we're hearing that it'll apparently launch in Fall 2010. This e-book reader will be utilizing the new Mirasol display and will sport a capacitive touchscreen display. We don't know who'll be first out of the gate with this 5.7-inch display with a 1,024 x 768 resolution but we'll just have to wait and see.

This isn't exactly MWC news but it looks like Bell will be launching the entry-level Samsung R330 handset on March 1st. That's just 2 weeks away and it'll be retailing for $14.99 on a 3-year contract and $174.99 contract-free (Canadian currency, of course). This handset is a flip phone that includes a 1.3MP camera, and a non-standard 2.5mm headphone jack.

It looks like the Dell Mini 5 won't be launching with Android 1.6 after all. Dell has just confirmed that it won't be shipping with Android 1.6 and it'll be shipping with a "newer version" of Android. They didn't mentioned what version it'll rung but it'll be running Android 2.0 at the very least.Since Flash support is headed to Android in the first half of this year let's hope that Dell uses the version of Android.

Huawei has just announced three more Android handsets, the U8300 (above) and the U8100 / U8110 (below). The U8300 will be sporting three bright colours: yellow, green, and purple and will have social integration. The full spec sheet hasn't been mentioned yet but it doesn't look like it'll fold...

The U8100 is above and the U8110 is below. The spec sheets on both are virtually identical so it's just the look that is different. Both of these handsets are said to be sporting a 2.8-inch QVGA touchscreen display, a 3.2MP camera on the back, a front-facing 0.3MP camera, and WiFi / Bluetooth support. The colours aren't official yet, but they're definitely confirmed to be hurting my eyes. Anyways, both of these handsets are set to debut in Europe in Q2 of this year.

Not what we were expecting but at Nokia's conference they announced (with Intel) that they'll be launching a new OS that fuses Maemo and Moblin into one. It will be called MeeGo. Don't worry, it won't be replacing Symbian but it will be replacing the Maemo OS (which was already good to begin with). "MeeGo isn't just for mobile phones either, it's for televisions, cars, netbooks, literally anything with a processor inside." At this point I don't really understand if this means we won't see a Maemo 6, but let's see how this works out. Check out the MeeGo site here. The first device launching with MeeGo should be in the second half of this year.

MeeGo currently targets platforms such as netbooks/entry-level desktops, handheld computing and communications devices, in-vehicle infotainment devices, connected TVs, and media phones. All of these platforms have common user requirements in communications, application, and internet services in a portable or small form factor. The MeeGo project will continue to expand platform support as new features are incorporated and new form factors emerge in the market.

The world's first netbook with Nvidia's Ion 2 graphics solution has just been announced and it's the Acer Aspire One 532g! Along with that news it's also got the Nvidia Optimus technology that I've been talking about lately. The 532g netbook will feature a 10.1-inch LED-backlit display, an Intel Atom 1.66GHz N450 CPU, an HDMI video output, possibly 7.1-channel audio output, 2GB of RAM, a 320GB HDD, WiFi / optional 3G support, and 10-hours of battery life. This Windows 7 netbook will be 1-inch thick and will weigh 1kg.

Acer has just unveiled five new phones for the mobile world and the first two is the neoTouch P300 and the P400. We heard about the P300 five days ago so we know that it'll feature Windows Mobile 6.5.3 alongside a 3.2-inch WQVGA touchscreen display, a slide-out backlit QWERTY keyboard, and WiFi. It'll be launching in March. The P400 will have a 3.2-inch HVGA touchscreen display, a Qualcomm 7227 600MHz CPU, WiFi, and a 3.2MP camera.

Next up is the beTouch E110 which has a 2.8-inch touchscreen display, a 3MP camera, an FM tuner, a 1,500mAh battery, and the Android OS. The E400 variant will have a 3.2-inch HVGA resistive touchscreen display, the 600MHz Qualcomm CPU, and Android 2.1. This one will be chipping in April. The prices on all of these handsets haven't been mentioned yet. There's one more handset below...

That's not all. Acer has also unveiled the Acer Liquid e handset which is pretty much the same handset as the old Liquid since it's packing the same underclocked 768MHz Snapdragon CPU but this time it's sporting Android 2.1. The full spec sheet is below in two nice charts.

I know you're waiting for the HTC Bravo / Desire, Legend, and Touch HD Mini (HD2 Mini?) to get all official, but we're going to have to wait a bit longer. The spec sheet for the Desire / Bravo and the Legend have just been unveiled today although we've known the majority of them for a while. They're below under their pictures. The Touch HD Mini's specs haven't been announced yet but there's a beautiful picture up there for ya.

It looks like the Motorola Zeppelin has just been announced and it'll be called the CLIQ XT in the US and the Quench in Europe. Unfortunately, they're sticking with the old-school Android 1.5 with a touch of MOTOBLUR on this handset which is upsetting since the CLIQ in the US should get updated to Android 2.1 in March. Anyways, it's got a 3.1-inch touchscreen display with a 320 x 480 resolution, a 5MP AF camera with an LED flash, WiFi / aGPS support, and HSDPA connectivity. Oh yeah, no QWERTY keyboard on this one.

It looks like Huawei has just unveiled the world's first Android handset that has HSPA+ support so that's 14Mbps downloads - on paper at least. The full spec sheet for this U8800 unfortunately hasn't been mentioned but it's got a 3.8-inch touchscreen display with Android 2.1.

Toshiba has unveiled two new smartphones, but they'll unfortunately be running on the old-school version of Windows Mobile 6.5.x OS - everyone's thirsting for WinPho 7 at the point. Anyways, the TG02 (above) and K01 (below) handsets have finally been made official after we saw them way back in April of last year. The Toshiba TG02 will be rocking the same spec sheet as the TG01, but the 4.1-inch WVGA touchscreen display is capacitive this time around.

The second handset they announced is the Toshiba K01 which brings a 4.1-inch AMOLED capacitive touchscreen display and a slide-out QWERTY keyboard into a 12.9mm thin body. We still don't know when they'll be available so we'll have to wait for that.

A small brand, Lumigon, has just unveiled a couple of Android 2.1. They're looking quite good for a brand I've never heard of before. Their three Android phones are the T1, S1, and E1 which will all feature capacitive touchscreen display, aGPS support, an HDMI output, and Freescale i.MX51 CPUs. Of course, they've worked on their own custom UI over top of Android 2.1 which is "to give the user even more user-friendliness." The T1 will be on sale in ths next couple of months, the S1 will be available a month or two after that, and the E1 will launch later this year.

The full spec sheets haven't been mentioned but we do know that you'll be able to use these phones as universal remotes and you'll be able to use the company's own Bluetooth keyboard. Don't know how that'll work right now, but maybe they'll demo it at MWC.

Microsoft made their Windows Mobile Phone 7 mobile OS all official this morning. they've dumped the Windows Mobile branding and thankfully brought on this new OS. Very, very new. It's nothing like Windows Mobile has ever been, but it's more Zune HD-like - which is great news. It's got Xbox integration and multitouch out-of-the box. The browser is still Internet Explorer but it's not looking as fast as mobile Safari at this point. There's really a ton of information to talk about in WinPho 7, but I'll leave that to another site. If you want to know a ton more on the OS itself then Engadget has a hands-on video and impressions here. It's looking amazing folks.
